The fact that it's a cut down version of a full Android installation just might have come to my attention BEFORE I BOUGHT IT!
From which came the initial post's "Hmmm... What about this newfangled Android stuff? Is it any good? AHA! I can check it out for cheap with a Nook Color! (Note the clever rationaiization for buying a new toy?)"
The words 'cheap' and 'toy' should have been a clue, but no--let's get all angsty and rude and hijack a thread for soapboxes. If this is the quality of discourse on the Nook forum, I'll go back to the jetBook threads. They're slow moving, but much more polite.

[1] I'll see any OS you might offer and raise you the magnetic card programming on the Olivetti-Underwood Programmo 101. Most OSes work tolerably well. FYI, I still think late-mark VAX systems had the best overall balance for pure utility. They just weren't as pretty as the NC.

overall the rhetoric here on the nook board, is very pleasant and helpful and polite. But we do have a few who feel the need to jump in every thread and bash everything nook. I know of two posters specifically who do nothing but troll on the nook.
but overall most people on here are very helpful. You know what they say about a "few bad apples"? I sorry I couldn't help myself.
